My 6th birth day is an unforgettable day in my life.
At the beginning of the day I had everything. I had loving parents who would do anything for me and cut little brother who looked at me like I was his hero. But at the end of the day I lost everything.
My dad deiced to celebrate my birthday as the way I wanted. I always loved to travel up on the hills and scream and listen to the echo of my screams. Clearly I was a daddy's girl and dad would do anything to make me happy.So my dad organized a family picnic to the mount Lavinia. It was the nearest hill we could go and I had no problem celebrating my birthday with my family alone.
We had so much fun up there.
Me and my little brother Keneth screamed our name and listen to echos laughing while our parents were smiling at us lovingly. We had dinner from a little restaurant up there and left around 8 pm. All I remember is sleeping on the back seat while the ride back to home.
I woke up in a white room alone. I was confused and scared. I called out for my parents. But the only person who came for me was my aunt Mariya. When I asked her about my parent and Keneth all she did was cry.
Then she said me the most horrible news in my life.
While we were driving back home our car had fallen down a hill. They said my life was save by a miracle because I had thrown out of the car while it was falling. But my parents and my brother died that night. I was alone in this world.
My aunt took me under her wings. She loved me and took care of me. Even though I lost everything I started live my life again. I tried to be the happy girl I was once. I tried to forget that I'm alone in this world. But my life was not same as before.
Nightmares started making me scared to sleep at night. Things I couldn't explain haunted my dreams. I've woken up screaming and drenched in cold sweat every night. Idea of dying was appealing than that torture. Everyone said that could be a side effect of the accident.
But the things is, they were not about accident. They were red glowing eye and really sharp teeth...... chasing me. I don't know what it was or who it was. what did it want from me. Did it want to kill me? Only thing I knew was running. Running away from the demon chasing me. But how long can I run away from it.
what would happen when the dream becomes reality. What would happen if I fall in love with that demon unknowingly. What if he is a demon inside that can be so cruel for the name of love. Will I still be able to love him back.

'' Oli..!!! You are going to be late for the school if you don't wake up right now''
I heard my aunt screaming outside of my door.
''Ugh... I hate school'' I muttered while walking to the bathroom like a zombie. You can see, I'm really not a morning person. Since it was first day of the school after a long break it was really hard to wake up early.
After having hot shower I got dressed in skinny jeans and a navy blue top I really loved. While doing make up I looked at my reflection through the mirror. I had the same features as my dad. With wavy honey brown hair, green eyes, creamy skin and the straight nose I looked like a carbon copy of my dad. I really missed him and my family a lot.
I snapped out of my thoughts hearing my phone ring. It was my best friend Samantha.
''Hey Sa_''
'' Damn woman! What are you still doing inside of the house. Come out right now or I'll leave you''
She screamed through the phone and hung up not even letting me finish my greeting. I know she would do that. Since she was my ride to school and I'm deadly scared to drive a vehicle after the accident I had to hurry.
I ran down the stairs to get out.
''Oli...your breakfast?''
My aunt asked as she saw me running.
''I'm late aunt M. Sam is going to kill me if I stay one more second''
I said her while grabbing an apple and kissing her cheek.
''Bye... see you later''
I yelled while running out of the door.
I could hear her saying 'love you' and her laugh.
Aunt Maria is my mom's younger sister. She is only 36 years old. She is a kind and loving woman. She is the one who took care of me for 11 years after my parent's death.
My aunt is more like a friend to me.
The thing I can't understand is why she wouldn’t get married. Her husband died just after two years they got married, from a cancer. She was only 25 then. She has been single since then and never dated another man.
When I asked about it from her all she said was that her late husband was love of her life and she can't think of another man in her life except him. Some times I really feel bad for her. My poor aunt.
As I ran out of the door I saw my bestie's car parked out side of my house.
"Always impatient.. Aren’t you ma little red head''
I mocked my best friend while getting on her car.
Her personality matches with her fiery red hair.''
''Oh shut up Oli... you are always late''
She replied me rolling her eyes.
''Come on Sam... You know sleeping is my hobby.''
I said while poking her. I could see corners of her lips turning upwards. I know she can't be mad at me more than five minutes.
''Whatever loser... so are you ready to be a senior?''
She asked me with an exited face.
''Yeah yeah... only thing I'm exited is getting out of that hell hole''
I replied her shrugging while munching my breakfast-well Apple. (Thanks to my best friend.)
It's not like I'm not good at studies or anything. I had perfect grades and I had lot of friends. The thing is listening to long lectures and writing notes bored me to death. Well I'm a really lazy person.
"Oh come on girl. You know you love school. And I'm pretty sure Kevin is going to ask you out this year''
Sam teased me making me choke on the bite I took from the apple.
''Kevin? Are you crazy...? He is just a friend Sam. He doesn't like me that way''
I said her after a coughing fit.
Kevin is the Captain of the foot ball team of our school and he is a good friend of me. Girls swooned over his 6'2 feet height, fit body and warm blue eyes.
Yes he is hot. But I never felt any attraction towards him.
He is more like a best buddy of mine.
''Just a friend my ass. He is totally in to you Oli. What's wrong with going out with him? You are single and he is hot.... OH MY! Are you a lesbian Oli?''
Sam asked me with wide eyes.
''Stop over acting Sam. You know I had boyfriends before. And no, we are not going to go out"
I said her rolling my eyes.
I had few boyfriends in the past but currently single. I was never that much of serious with them and the relationships ended like in month or two. I never felt tingles and fireworks with any of them.
"Yeah we will see it..."
Sam said parking the car on a parking spot.
We got out of the car and walk toward the main door.
"Here comes the lover boy"
Sam said in a low voice giggling.
At the same time I saw Kevin walking toward us with his two best buddies Matt and Dylan. They were also foot ball players.
"Keep your mouth shut Sammy"
I muttered and smiled at Kevin.
"Hey Kevin, Matt Dylan"
I greeted them waving. Sam waved them too. Specially Matt. She had a huge crush on him.
"Hey Oli.. Sam... After a long time.''
Kevin said hugging us.
I could feel sluts throwing daggers through their eyes toward us. Jealous bitches. They hate us for being friends with the foot ball team and mainly Kevin. Kevin was my neighbor and childhood best friend for 6 years, before he moved away last year. So we were close friends. Since he is always hanging out with his foot ball team buddies I became friends with them eventually. Sam being my best friend made her their friend too.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure you missed O_"
Sam started. I knew what is she going to say and quickly pinched her arm making her stop.
"Crap... We are going to be late guys. See you later"
I said quickly and dragged Sam through the main door waving at Kevin and his friends.
"Woman... Watch your mouth"
I grumbled at Sam. Mouth of her really doesn't know limits.
"Oh come on grumpy pants... I was just stating the facts"
Sam said laughing at me.
"No idiot... You were making me uncomfortable"
Sometimes she loved to annoy me.
"Whatever... you know you love me babe"
She sang hugging me side way.
"Yeah yeah let’s go to the class before the bell ring"
I said her rolling my eyes and trying to stop my smile. I could never be mad at her.
We entered the class and sat on our usual seats. Sam had a similar schedule as me except few periods.
She sat at my right side, but the seat at the left side of me was empty. It was Jake's seat. But he moved over seas at the end of the last year. Well I can always put my bag there.
I was chatting with Sam so I didn't even see Mr.Levi entering the class.
"Good morning kids... after a long time. Aren't we..."
He greeted the class with a warm smile.
Mr. Levi was one of the few teachers students loved. He was around 40 old cool guy who was always in a cheerful mood.
"OK guys lets start you senior year first lecture"
He said making us stop doing all other things.
Suddenly door opened and unfamiliar boy entered the class.
All I could see was his back since he was talking to Mr. Levi.
Ge was around 6'3 and well-build. Girls in the front rows started swoon.
Come on girls you didn't even see his face, just his head full of black hair.
Some of the girls in our class are really desperate.
I rolled my eyes and just doodle on my book.
"Well class we have new student.
Would you like to introduce yourself?"
I heard Mr. Levi asking the new boy.
"Well... I'm Nathan Chandler. But call me Nate"
A deep voice replied. I can assure you half of the female population in my class just died. Literally.
"Man... he is hot"
Sam whispered to me. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
Then I heard Mr. Levi saying my name. I knew my bag is not that lucky. It's going to lose its seat. I sign and looked at the teacher.
"Nathan... you can take the seat next to Olivia."
Mr.Levi told the new boy showing me.
Then I looked at him.
My eyes locked with a pair of silver eyes. My world went blank and I felt a shiver went through my spin. I couldn't take my eyes away nor could I blink.
Only thing came to my mind was
'WHAT THE HELL'
Olivia
My eyes were stuck with his. I felt like they were familiar yet I was sure I've never met him before. Sam pinched my hand breaking me out of my trance.
"What is it?"
She asked me.
"Nothing."
I replied her shaking my head. Mean while the new boy Nathan came near and sat on the seat next to me.
"Hey... I'm Nate"
He said smiling at me. But I couldn't smile. I felt like I knew him.
"Olivia"
I just muttered with a fake smile and looked at the teacher.
However Nate was really smart. He was able to answer all the questions Mr. Levi asked.
At the end of the period I quickly grabbed my things and walked out of the class with Sam. I had this weird uneasy feeling around Nate. May be it was because he is new or something.
"He is hot"
Sam swooned while fanning her self.
"Who?"
I asked her not knowing who she is talking about. There are many good looking boys in the school. Sam looked at me like I asked her a stupid question.
"Nate... you idiot... oh my... Did you see his eyes? So beautiful"
She said with a dreamy voice.
Yeah I have to agree with her. He is hot. But it's not like I'm going to say it loud.
"Hey Olivia... wait"
I heard someone calling me. I turned around and it was Nate.
"Hey... can I help you?"
I asked him. I could hear Sam sigh dreamy. I rolled my eyes in my mind.
"Yeah... actually since I'm new I don't know where my classes held or anything. So can you show me around... if you don't mind?"
Nate asked scratching behind his neck with a nervous smile.
'Well he looks like a good guy. Forget stupid uneasy feeling shits. Just help him.'
My inner voice said me. He really looked nervous. He doesn't look like he can do any harm. Also Sam was nagging me urging me to say yes.
"Yeah sure... I'll help you. Just give me your schedule"
This time I replied him with a real smile.
He gave me his schedule and we had the same classes before the lunch break.
"Well... we have the same classes before lunch break. Come with me."
I said him walking to the next class with him and Sam since she had the same class as me.
I blocked all the disturbing thoughts and got along with Nate. He was a decent guy and easy to talk with. We became friends fast.
I had to go to cafeteria with Nate since Sam had different class before the lunch.
"Nate... cafeteria is that way. I'll meet you there in few minutes. I have to go to the wash room."
I said him while showing the way to the cafeteria and turning around to go to the wash room.
I heard him saying
"I'll see you there"
As I expected Sam was in the wash room. It was her habit to go the wash room as soon as the bell rung. She really has a small bladder.
"Hey... Where is the hottie?"
She asked me while washing her hands.
"Who? Nate? He went to the cafeteria. You know he can't come here right?"
I said her nonchalantly. Stupid girl.
She just hummed as a reply touching up her makeup.
"You know what Oli?"
Sam asked me in an exited tone while we were walking toward cafeteria.
"What Sam?"
"I'm totally in the team Nate"
She said with a grin.
"What do you mean team Nate?"
I asked confused. Some times I really don't understand what is running inside of my best friends head.
"I mean... you and Nate look really cute together. Since you said that Kevin is just a friend, you can be more than friends with Nate right?"
She answered me grinning.
'Oh god not again'
"Really Sam... Will you stop trying to set me up with every guy you see? I'm not going to date Nate neither Kevin. OK. Stop trying Sam and please just get yourself a boyfriend."
I said a rolling my eyes.
"Come on Oli... do you want to be a single cat lady? You haven't been in a date like in a year... And also I'm currently single doesn't mean I'm always... Oli come on. Nate is also hot..."
She whined at me.
It is true. Sam had her fair share with boys. Her red hair and electric blue eyes always attracted boys and also with her olive skin and killer body she could get any boy she wants. But ever since her ex cheated on her with school slut Tiffany two years ago Sam never got in to a serious relationship with anyone.
Her relationships ended like in weeks or month.
"I know Sam he is hot. But-"
I couldn't complete my sentence because someone cut me off draping their arm around my shoulder.
"Who is hot Oli?"
I heard Kevin's familiar voice asking me. Damn!....
